Longevita Blood Glucose Monitoring System

A glucometer originally from foggy Albion is attractive, first of all, for its ease of use. Many older people resist everything new, but everyone can understand the principles of managing this model.

One click

Blood sugar measurements are made at the touch of a heart-shaped button. There are simply no other keys on board the model. Before using the device for the first time, as well as after replacing a batch of test strips with a new one, you only need to manually enter the coding (indicated on the packaging with the strips), for which visually impaired diabetics will have to seek outside help.

Taking measurements

The first step on the way to getting a result is to insert a test strip into a special connector on the top of the metre. Next, you will need to pierce your finger with a lancet device and bring a drop of blood to the base of the test strip. The minimum amount of blood for analysis is 2.5 µl, i.e. the drop must be large. The medical device gives the result of glucose measurements 10 seconds after the start of the procedure, which is somewhat longer than most analogues, but completely uncritical.

Arguments for"

In terms of dimensions, Longevita Blood Glucose Monitoring System is also slightly larger than its peers. But the glucometer is equipped with a large display and is powered by two "little" batteries, which are much easier to change compared to "pill" type batteries. You will need to do this about once a year with the active use of the device — one battery charge is enough for about 1000 measurements. And the main argument in favor of the glucometer is a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer, seasoned with a democratic price tag.
